From hight camp to crampons poit is rocky with ice in the morning need basic knowlege of rock climbing, to crampons poit till summit is snow part around 40° to 50° slope so most be need knowlege how to work with front poit crampons on ice and hard snow. After around 6 hours climbing we arrived on summit. Always pleasure to see smile with great emotion when climber's are on the top .
Lobuche  (also spelt Lobuje) which lies close to the Khumbu Glacier. There are two main peaks, Lobuche Far East and Lobuche East (often mistaken for Lobuche West which is a separate mountain further west). At 6,145 metres (20,161 ft), Lobuche East is 26 metres (85 ft) higher. Between the two peaks is a long deeply notched ridge.
The first recorded ascent of Lobuche East was made by Laurence Nielson and Sherpa Ang Gyalzen on April 25, 1984.
